Do you own oil and gas royalty rights (royalties / mineral rights) in the United States or Canada and wish to sell to enjoy a payday? We buy royalties (mineral rights) in many areas of the USA to add to our large portfolio. And like in the USA, in some parts of Canada, individuals may own mineral rights which they can sell. We are primarily interested in paying mineral owners (royalty owners) a lump sum cash settlement for royalty income, meaning they are getting oil and gas royalty checks from an oil and gas company. In some cases, they can sell royalty or sell mineral rights even though there is no oil or gas production.

How we determine market value? We have over 35 years of oil and gas experience and have bought thousands of acres of royalty rights in many states, so, we have a lot of experience. The production from all oil wells or gas wells decline over time. We use a sophisticated computer program that analyzes the income stream from your royalties. This amazing computer program builds a decline curve analysis which calculates future production and assigns a present value to determine top market value for your oil or gas rights. It's not complicated, we make it easy on you! And the good news is, we're thorough but we're pretty fast! Once we get the necessary info on your property, it won't take us long to "run the numbers!"Why sell royalties? If you are receiving a royalty check, why sell royalty rights? There are many reasons. Some owners seek cash for personal needs. Perhaps they want the lump sum to buy something they want or to provide for a child's education fund, for their own retirement, take a dream vacation... there are many reasons. Some sell because they don't want to deal with the hassle of the paperwork. Many people are receiving small royalty checks and it's just not worth the hassle anymore and they choose to take the cash settlement. (All oil and/or gas wells deplete from day one, perpetually declining until they no longer produce a profit and are plugged and abandoned. It's just the nature of the beast -- over time, once it starts decreasing in production, it's a perpetually declining income stream to the royalty owner.)

Also, the oil and gas business in inherently risky. Wells go dry and sometimes, there is no notice that it's about to happen! So, if one sells and takes the sure-thing, bird-in-the-hand cash, that certainly has real value! Cash is cash! And if we buy oil royalties or buy gas royalties from you, it will take years for us to even get our money back. So, sometimes just taking the lump sum comes in handy and makes a lot of sense! Some people sell mineral rights because they want to buy something, provide for retirement or just enjoy a big payday.

Why do we buyoil and gas royalty? Over several decades, we have built a large portfolio of mineral rights and royalties in several states and counties within those states. Many different companies, many depths, many producing formations. And this is the secret to how we make this work. We spread risk over a huge area. Spreading risk is a good thing in business, and, especially, in oil and gas, which is an inherently risky business! If any particular property does not pay us back our cost, hopefully, we will do okay on others. Over the long haul and many, many properties, we can earn a return on investment. But, rest assured, we do bomb out on some purchases and the seller came out smelling like a rose!

Royalty / Royalties Defined

What exactly is an oil royalty or gas royalty? (Or, some people refer to them in the plural -- royalties.) This is a provision in an oil and gas lease whereby the operator/Lessee pays those who own royalty rights (mineral rights including the royalty) their proportionate part of the proceeds from the oil and/or gas that is produced each month. In each oil and gas lease contract, there is a clause or sentence describing the amount of royalty to be paid the royalty owner. (Note that if one's check is less than a specified amount ($25 - $100) for that month, the operator's Division Order that you sign may specify that they can just wait until the royalties exceed the specified amount, and then they'll cut your check. Nothing wrong with that, although, $25 seems more reasonable.)

Non-participating royalty interest -- In some states, such as Texas, a royalty interest is called a non-participating royalty interest, or "NPRI" for short. It's essentially the same (although the laws vary from state to state) as a royalty interest. Royalty interests themselves are "non-participating." This just means that the royalty interest shares in production from an oil or gas well but does not participate in sharing lease bonuses, rentals or shut-in royalty and does not have the right to explore for oil and gas on his own (who is rich enough, anyway!), and does not have the right to sign an oil and gas lease as Lessor. It seems complicated, but it's really not, however, as stated, state laws differ. Suffice to say, you can sell non-participating royalty interest (sell NPRI).

Why do royalty checks decline? It's usually due to the nature of an oil or gas well -- production, over time, is perpetually declining. An oil or gas well is producing from porous rock and this supply of oil or gas is finite. The underground reservoir is somewhat like a giant balloon; if you prick the giant balloon (with a wellbore), the oil or gas will slowly escape until it's all gone. A decreasing royalty check can also be due to a lower price received by the operator for crude oil and natural gas. Prices do fluctuate. There may be a period during flush production (production soon after a well is brought to production) where the amount produced is pretty constant. However, it's a given that for any well, once it begins declining, it will decline on a constant basis thereafter until it reaches it's economic limit. The economic limit is when the well does not make a profit for the operator, so, the well will be plugged and abandoned.

How long does an oil or gas well last? That varies, but the productive life of an oil well or gas well is anywhere from a few years to decades. (It can be even shorter... a few months.) Beyond the first year or so (even as short as a few months), which we call "flush production," the well may decline such that it is classified a stripper well, which is a very low volume producer. Stripper wells can "limp along" for decades, producing very little income. We'll even buy those properties because we just add it to our portfolio. We can make low volume work interests, whereas, it might not worth the trouble to an individual!

Suffice to say, many people elect to sell their oil rights or gas rights because the check has declined a lot and they'd rather take a lump sum cash payment. The buyer then receives the income stream from the royalty checks.
